Beirut, May 9 (RHC)-- Lebanon's mosques welcomed worshippers for Friday prayers, as authorities eased restrictions imposed in March to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

Dozens of worshippers preformed the weekly prayers at Beirut's iconic Al-Amin Mosque.  The masked worshippers sat, contrary to traditions, at considerable distance from one another and were obliged to bring their own prayer mats.

This year, Muslims find themselves cut off from much of what makes Ramadan special as authorities fight the pandemic.  Many countries have closed mosques and banned Taraweeh to prevent crowds.
